    Unhappy 4th axis not square??

    I searched and didn't find anything about this. Anyway, while trying to figure out why a long fixture bolted the the 4th axis was not parallel to the table I used a cylindrical square to check the squareness of the 4th axis table to the machine table and it is out of square .006! I am having a hard time believing what I am measuring. I looked in my manual for a reason why this may be but there is nothing about adjusting the squareness of the rotating table to the base of the unit. Does anybody know if there is any adjustment? If not then it looks like I'll have to set the 4th axis on the surface grinder and grind it square. Anybody here ever had this problem?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Re: 4th axis not square??

    not knowing your setup its hard to say. My table is square, but the chuck adapter that I bolted on sure as hell was a pain - it took me more than an hour to get that stupid plate to run concentric.

    I assume that you're smart enough to be talking about the table itself, and not some plate that you or someone else added on..

    Is there a chip or two under the table maybe? I'd go making sure it's not something dumb before you put it on a grinder.
